Hosting MASC Events

Thank you for your interest in hosting a MASC event.  Without host schools/regions, it would be difficult for MASC to fulfill its mission: to foster a statewide environment for all secondary school students to express and exchange opinions and ideas, develop leadership skills, and promote student representation and involvement in all groups and organizations impacting the lives of students.

Throughout the year, there are major conferences and several small events for which MASC needs hosts.  Our major conferences, the Fall Leadership Conference, the new Convention (Legislative Session is now included as part of the Convention), and the Spring Leadership Conference require an interested school(s)/region(s) to present a “bid” for the event at an executive board meeting.

Forums (Women’s Leadership Forum) and other webinars and town halls will remain virtual events so more students from around the state can attend (no registration fees or transportation costs).

Below you will find the information for the 2024-2025 school year.   If you have any questions, please email Assistant Executive Director Karen Crawford (Karen.Crawford@mdstudentcouncils.org).
